There are some 80 federal agencies, directly and indirectly, involved in environmental affairs. Environment is defined as the aggregate or surrounding things, conditions, and influence to which man and other organisms react. An environmental approach is defined as being based on ecology and taking values pertaining to quality, harmony, other forms of life, and future generations, among others, into consideration.
